Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate US1 Radio on celebrating 30 years on the air. For many residents, US1 provides the soundtrack for the Keys. Since 1989, US1 Radio has been the most listened to radio station in the Florida Keys. The station also received the Edward R. Murrow Award for broadcasting during Hurricane George. These hard-earned accolades are due not only to its great programming but also to the station's commitment to the Keys community. After the BP oil spill, US1 Radio provided information to Monroe residents to keep them updated and aware of the situation. And there is no oil in the Keys, folks. Come on down. Congratulations to Bill Becker, Ezra Marcus, Kevin LeRoux, Kevin Redding, and all of the staff at US1 Radio for their hard work. Here's to 30 more years of US1 Radio. ____________________
